Oh no! Simmons picks the Colts!

Well, he has to get one right eventually…right?

Relevant E-mail (from me to a friend): “Only Ray Lewis could win a Super Bowl on a team that won its four playoff games by a combined score of 95-23, then claim nine years later that he’s playing on the best team of his career because he beat a team in Round 1 that ran every third-down pass play for a rookie seventh-round pick who was converted to receiver from quarterback six months ago.”

This Game As a “Jersey Shore” Character: Sammi Sweetheart. At first glance, super attractive. Upon further review, more trouble then it’s worth. A stay away.

Theories in Play: The “Beware of teams that looked a little too good in Round 1,” “Never bet against Peyton Manning in a night game” and “Never back a shaky QB on the road” theories (advantage, Colts) battling “Beware of weird things happening in Saturday night playoff games,” “Beware of the easy two-team teaser” and “Don’t worry about home-field advantage with few exceptions” theories (advantage, Ravens). The tiebreaker: “Never pick an underdog if you don’t think they can win.” Let’s not forget that the Colts were 14-0. Thank you.
